Have to disagree with you and other posters re the Cafe Sport.
We went there fully EXPECTING to be disappointed as so many of these iconic places are over-hyped, but thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Had a great time chatting to yachtsmen and women from all over.
We went round the scrimshaw collection, and that alone is well worth a visit. But as I say, the main thing that we loved was meeting and exchanging views with other people.
We were last there in 2003 and wouldn't hesitate to spend a fair old time in the cafe on the next trip.
Out of interest, what was it abpout the place that you didn't like?
